Rookie Braeden Bowman Nets Second Power-Play Goal in Fourth NHL Game for Golden Knights

Rookie forward Braeden Bowman, 22, continued his impressive start with the Vegas Golden Knights, scoring his second career power-play goal in his fourth NHL game on Tuesday night against the New York Rangers. Bowman, an undrafted free agent who signed an entry-level contract in March 2025, opened the scoring by one-timing a rebound past Igor Shesterkin. This goal followed his first career power-play goal scored in his second game on Saturday in St. Louis. While one article stated his goal was a game-winner, other reports confirm Shea Theodore scored the actual game-winning goal in the 3-2 victory. Coach Bruce Cassidy praised Bowman's ability to maintain NHL pace and strength through his initial four appearances.
